Former Nixa principal waives reading of indictment, pleads not guilty to sexual exploitation of a child, child porn charges

Former Nixa Assistant Junior High Principal Colby Fronterhouse waived the reading of his indictment and pleaded not guilty this morning in U. S. District Court in Springfield.

Fronterhouse is being held in the Greene County Jail without bond while awaiting trial on charges of sexual exploitation of a child and sending and receiving child pornography.

According to the detention motion, which was filed February 1, Fronterhouse pretended to be a Kickapoo High School student named Lacey Jones while enticing one of his students, a 13-year-old boy, to send him nude photos.
